    not with the hardware.


Alas, me, I can't get my ethernet, wireless, or audio to work with any linux. Got the machine in November, and supposedly those issues have been worked out, but I can't get around them.

So I guess a gotcha is if you don't check all the hardware for drivers first.

My understanding is that there are still fewer 64-bit device drivers than 32-bit ones. I don't know. Only computer I've encountered that wouldn't run Linux was an old Dell; it would try to boot but nothing I tried would get it past freezing. But I'm a bottom feeder, 64-bit machines aren't in my price range.
